When the Soda siblings reunited after a year and a half, they candidly shared their feelings.
In the 34th episode of the cable channel ENA's entertainment program 'My Kid's Private Life' (hereafter 'My Life'), aired on the afternoon of 17th, a day filled with laughter for Doa spent in Mu-an, Jeollanam-do, and the heartfelt conversation of the Soda siblings, So-eul and Da-eul, who appeared on the show after a long time, were revealed, bringing both laughter and emotion.
As a result, the viewership ratings recorded an average of 1.5% based on metropolitan households, with the highest viewership recorded at 2%. The top moment was when So-eul and the couple Rio, along with Da-eul and Ji-hoo, began their double date. (Provided by Nielsen Korea, based on paid broadcasting households)
On this day's broadcast, the story of the Soda siblings, who temporarily returned to Korea after living in Bali, was depicted. In the studio, their mother Lee Yoon-jin, who appeared on the show after about eight years, shared updates on the Soda siblings, stating, 'I haven't seen Da-eul for 471 days, but we are living together again. While studying in Bali, the kids all obtained junior translators' licenses,' which elicited surprise. Lee Yoon-jin had previously appealed that she couldn't meet her son due to her divorce from actor Lee Beom-soo.
So-eul entered Korea with her British boyfriend Rio, whom she met at the same school. Da-eul, who had been in a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend in Korea, finally met her again after a long time. Thus, the siblings' double date was realized, and their mother Lee Yoon-jin humorously remarked, 'I'm the only one missing,' evoking laughter. The children, who went to a folk village, wore hanbok and enjoyed various experiences, creating joyful memories.
After a day filled with laughter, Da-eul transformed into a chef at their accommodation and cooked for his sister. He prepared the trendy 'salmon diced radish' and jjajang ramen. Da-eul, who couldn't attend So-eul's middle school graduation, wanted to treat his sister to jjajangmyeon on graduation day.
At the dining table, the Soda siblings had a heartwarming conversation. So-eul confessed, 'Even though we couldn't be together for a while, I'm so happy to see you again.' To this, Da-eul revealed, 'At first, when we were apart, I didn't miss you, but a few months before we met, I started dreaming about you and wished you were around.'
So-eul also added, 'At first, I honestly enjoyed monopolizing mom's love like an only child. But as I received enough love, I wanted to share it with Da-eul. When I saw you again, I felt like I truly found peace. It's been a year since I last saw you, and although you've turned cute and chubby, I'm thankful that you've grown maturely without any heartbreak.'
Hearing the mature conversation of the children, Lee Yoon-jin shed tears and remarked, 'I think growing pains came a little early for my children. It seems that they have matured and become stronger through these painful growing pains. I also need to be more steadfast in raising them.'
On that day's broadcast, Doa and Seung-yu brought canned potatoes to the market. With their adorable antics and a storm of eating shows, the children's cuteness filled the entire market with laughter. Their father Park Jung-woo disguised himself as a grandfather to visit Doa. However, Doa immediately recognized him as her dad upon seeing the undeniable muscles and calluses on his hands, which brought laughter.
After finishing their potato sales, the children went to buy the three-legged octopus that Seung-yu's grandmother wanted. However, the three-legged octopus that Doa envisioned didn't exist, so ultimately, Doa bought an ordinary octopus and tore it apart to make three legs. The sudden idea of Doa showcasing an octopus eating show on the street made the adults in the studio burst into laughter.
For the children returning home, their grandmother prepared a feast of Jeolla-do-style dishes, starting with octopus lantern and fried fish, and including fermented skate. When Doa first encountered fermented skate, she struggled, saying it smelled like 'Christmas poop,' but after seeing Dad enjoy it, she decided to take on the challenge. Soon, captivated by the taste of fermented skate, Doa showcased a carefree eating show and even heartily enjoyed watermelon for dessert, bringing healing to viewers.
